Everything but the Bagel Seasoning
Sold in stores across the States like Trader Joes, Everything Bagel Seasoning is simply one that is used on bagels… The ones with all of the sesame, poppy seeds, garlic flakes, etc. It started as the topping baked into the bagels, but became a seasoning that goes on… well… you guessed it – everything!
A selection of sesame and poppy seeds with dried garlic, the recipe is as simple as anything, but the flavour that it creates really brings any dish to life. From the simple avocado toast through to crusting a piece of salmon with it, this seasoning is going to become the first thing you grab from the spice rack.
What can you use this seasoning on?
The beauty of this blend is that it’s so suited to breakfast, lunch, dinner – all those in between. Savoury and punchy, it’s the perfect garnish on top of egg salad toast or even a bowl of overnight oats. The sky really is the limit! I paired it with my favourite avocado toast for a clean and simple snack that will take you next to no time to whip up. It would also go on top of a fried egg on toast. Keep the flavours building and you’ll be wondering how you made food go to that next level without it!
What will you need?
The best thing about this is you’ll need things your cupboard already has and a jar! The only specification to make is that flaky salt is better than granulated as it has a better texture. It can also be tailored to your taste. Chilli flakes or nigella seeds could be substituted. If you wanted a touch of fennel, some fennel seeds could give it that strong aniseed taste.
